The
colorful documentary celebrates New Orleans during
Mardi Gras. In the Les Blank("Hot
Pepper"/"Dry Wood"/"A Well Spent Life") film we
observe how to eat crayfish with New Orlean's gusto, St. Patrick's
Day is celebrated, we catch marchers
prepping for the big Mardi Gras parade, there's a
jazz funeral for a member of the Zulu society,
we catch the Tchoupitoulas society doing
their Indian thing, we watch bits of the Mardi Gras
parade and it ends with a parade for St.
Joseph.
